rPPG Smartphone Monitoring

rPPG FOR SMARTPHONE HEALTH MONITORING

Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) has gained attention as an innovative method for health monitoring using smartphone cameras. Unlike traditional PPG, which requires contact with the skin, rPPG analyzes subtle color changes in facial skin captured via video. This non-contact approach enables the extraction of vital signs such as heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), oxygen saturation, and even blood pressure.

The appeal of rPPG in smartphones lies in its accessibility and convenience. Most modern smartphones are equipped with high-quality cameras, making them ideal tools for monitoring health on the go. Users can simply take a video selfie, and the rPPG algorithms analyze the video in real-time to provide accurate health insights.

This technology is particularly useful for remote healthcare and telemedicine, as it allows for easy, at-home monitoring without the need for additional devices or wearables. It can facilitate early detection of health issues, track fitness progress, and even support chronic disease management, all through a widely available consumer device.

Scanning conditions are important when working with rPPG. Lighting conditions, movement, need to controlled to ensure accuracy. Our advanced image processing, AI, and our algorythms ensure these issues are mitigated.
